Couple catalogs Williamson County veterans graves in a long-term project
The Boyds spent years documenting local veterans graves to return information to relatives. They published a 1,800 page three-volume book on Williamson County World War II service and plan a county-wide tribute for all veterans using 2010 as the cutoff. They have visited nearly every cemetery, face rough terrain, and hope a service group sponsors the publication. Their son Michael assists, and the project aims to keep veterans memory alive without profit.
